Boxing Fans....a thread for us..

^^ Agreed...but I think Canelo will fight GGG....those latino fighters typically have a lot of bravado and want to fight the best out there....just my opinion

In boxing news, it looks like GGG has another fight lined up too before he hopefully gets to fight Alvarez.

We'll see if Alvarez keeps ducking GGG, but I seem to recall the boxing organization saying he had to fight GGG soon or vacate the belt?

Yes it's a crazy card, but it's free on spike. I never wanted to see the shamrock fight. Gracie just makes man love when he fights.

So, anyone even have a mild interest in the Pac man Bradley fight? I like Bradley but he ain't that entertaining, and last I saw Pac was the last I wanted to see of him.

No, I expect to Pac to win same as the other two fights. I have more interest in the Canelo vs Khan fight next month. I think Khan may make a better showing than expected (probably last 4 - 7 rounds may even win a couple rounds).

Speaking of, GGG is also going to be fighting next weekend. Should be an easy one for him - Vegas odds are 100:1 in favor of GGG vs Ward. Roman Gonzalez is going to be fighting on that card again as well.

The only awkward thing is that the fight is the same night as the UFC PPV for April. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Gonzalez did quite well. Surprised that Arroyo went the distance especially with that broken boot. Triple G made easy work of Wade. Canelo is a pussy if he avoids him for any fight that's set for later this year.

GGG crushed Wade like a bug as expected. Just another keep busy fight for him while he waits for Alvarez. We'll see if Alvarez ever actually fights GGG - that would require the belt organization to actually enforce that mandatory defense...
